Little is said about Norwegian companies in Brazil that are gradually gaining market share and significantly amplifying their investments. The sectors where Norwegians are injecting their “Norwegian Crowns” (official currency) the most are renewable solar energy, hydropower, oil and gas, generating more than 612 job vacancies among direct and indirect roles, according to the Norwegian business site Inosvajon Norge and endorsed by Team Norway Brazil.

In the table below, it is possible to see that Brazil represents an important source of resources for Norway, with about 7.3% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) coming from the sectors listed above. Next, we will list the companies that centralize their investments here the most.

The agreement signed by Equinor to Acquire a Stake in the Roncador Field was the largest transaction during the period. However, a positive investment trend can be observed across all sectors, not limited to Oil and Gas.

Although investments in the renewable solar energy sector have returned to 2014 levels, Norway now has greater and more diverse exposure in the energy sector. Four companies are investing in four different types of renewable energy sources in Brazil. Scatec Solar and Equinor are in the sector with solar generation facilities, while Statkraft has Expanded Its Operations with new hydropower acquisitions. Umoe BioEnergy remains focused on alternative sources such as biofuel, produced from sugarcane, with negative CO2 emissions.

Agribusiness, chemicals, finance, IT, media, mining, etc., are included in the “Others” segment and represent sectors in which Norwegian companies are active in Brazil. The share of investments in these areas has slightly decreased compared to 2016, from 34% to 30%.

4 Norwegian Companies in Brazil and Their Investments by Segment

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The largest meat cooperative in Brazil estimates that it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, if Congress approves the end of the 6×1 schedule and the 40-hour workweek.

Payment methods that facilitate sales

Acelen advances with megabiorefinery in Bahia with a R$ 503 million investment released by BNDES and boosts the production of sustainable fuels with advanced technology capable of transforming vegetable oil and waste into green diesel and low-emission aviation fuel.

Nvidia wants to spend up to $150 billion annually in Taiwan, employ 4,000 people, and transform the new headquarters into a key piece of AI expansion.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.
